Merry Christmas to all those who celebrate it!

And a happy Just-Another-Day to those who donโ€™t!

And Happy Holidays to those who celebrate a different festival. โ˜บ๏ธ

Are you writing today? I will be. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Hello ! Today is Nochebuena, so it's the big celebration at our house. I'll be making roast beast (pork) and congri (blackbeans and rice), plus my potato and apple salad and mock maduros (can't get plantains in Denmark, but I caramelize bananas). Unfortunately, I injured my shoulder typing yesterday (I know! I can't figure it out either!) and I'm in such pain. I took some meds. Anyway, Happy holidays! ๐ŸŽ„ โ˜ƒ๏ธ ๐ŸŽ…

Good morning and good night,

This week is pureโ€”eeep! ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ’ป So much to do before Friday. Oh, well. At least there's coffee! ๐Ÿ˜

I hope your week is off to a good start.

Any other or writers around these here parts? Looking to rebuild some of my community...

"And so she turned to the children of Adam and said, 'Children do not let your buns rest on toasters unless you watch them close. For it is written that the line between warm toasty goodness and burnt dread is finer than a single hair on this poor woman's head."

And the children nodded, and they heeded her warning, and they ate many happy meals.

"And so it came to pass that the foolish woman who failed to monitor her buns while they rested atop her toaster was plagued by the scent of charcoal for four full moons. And she did regret her life choices. And she did wail, 'why me?' But nothing would free her from the smell of burnt bread because the touch of fire endures...

Random fact: The scent of burnt buns has a very long life cycle.

I burned burger buns that I set to warm on the toaster nore than two and a half hours ago. The scent is still going strong. I opened the windows (only for a while because it's really cold out there). I set the kitchen extractor fan. It endures. The burn persists.

I'm sure this is parable-worthy.

Elon Musk has just forbidden Twitter posts with links to MySpace, Live Journal, and AOL.

I stupidly followed a link into the bird app and stumbled on Marjorie Taylor Greene having a coniption over vibrators retailing next to children's toothbrushes. (Not dildos, just massage devices.) What I mainly got out of it is that she has never achieved orgasm.๐Ÿ˜œ Remember, kids: sex is nasty, and killing is cool! *dies of eye roll*๐Ÿ™„ ๐Ÿ’€

This week, besides the Christmas feast, I look forward to Winter Solstice on Wednesday and the slow reversal of the terribly short days. This barely seven hours of daylight thing doesn't work for me, to be honest. Yesterday, I told my husband I guessed Vikings had no use for Roman sundials as they wouldn't be good for much. We went down a rabbit hole of speculation on how Vikings told time and whether time accuracy mattered at all in the ancient world. We're a wild and crazy couple. ๐Ÿคฃ
